Pain Solutions

On average, people take 6,000 to 10,000 steps each day. With each step there are normal movement patterns that should be completed. When these patterns deviate from normal, a variety of conditions can often result.

Do your calf muscles ache? Is the back of your heel and ankle swollen or tight? If so, you may be suffering from a common condition known as Achilles tendonitis.

Achilles tendonitis is an injury caused by overuse of the large tendon that connects the calf muscles to the back of the heel bone. When overused, the Achilles tendon can get irritated, painful, stiff and swollen. Although it is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, it is also the most injury-prone due to its limited blood supply and the enormous stress placed upon it. Achilles tendonitis can worsen if not treated properly, so address the problem promptly.
